85% Informative

America ’s election systems include safeguards including for mail-in voting to make sure that ballots are held securely and counted accurately, and that people can’t vote more than once.

The Monitor looks at the lifecycle of a ballot in Pennsylvania , one of the most contested states in the 2020 presidential election.

Voters in Philadelphia County can drop it off in person at an election office, return it in the mail, or leave it in 23 dropboxes monitored with 24/7 video surveillance.

Election warehouse in Philadelphia is guarded by security guards year-round.

Staff count mail-in ballots in the warehouse on election day , and a mandatory post-election audit takes place here afterwards.

After certification, ballots are moved to a back room and stored for 22 months according to federal law.
